Sow the seed in a well-prepared soil as soon as the ground is in a proper con- j 



dition to work. Sow in drills and tread the seed firmly in; thin out to an inch j 



apart, and keep the ground well worked and free from weeds. In order to secure • 



stock plants, cut off the tops once or twice before transplanting, which should be j 



_ about in July. Make the soil very rich with well-rotted manure, which should be • 



i dug in deep; a moist, low, rich bottom land or well-drained muck soil is preferable, j 



j Set the plants eight or twelve inches apart. To blanch, draw earth around the j 



plants from time to time, taking care not to cover the tops of the centre shoots. • 



GIANT PASCAL — Developed from the Golden Self-Blanching, it re- 

 tains the beautiful color. The stocks are very large, thick, solid, crisp and 

 of rich, nutty flavor; free from any taste of bitterness. It branches very 

 easily and retains color and fresh appearance long after being marketed.

GIANT PASCAL. 



WHITE PLUME This 



is a very profitable extra 

 early market variety, re- 

 quiring little labor. It is 

 solid, of fine flavor, and 

 very ornamental. It matures 

 three weeks earlier than 

 other sorts, and it deserves 

 unqualified praise, and calls 

 for no apology. Package, 

 5c; oz.. 20c: Yx lb., 50c; 

 lb., $1.50. 



GIANT GOLDEN 

 HEART. _ Produced by 

 careful selection and high 

 culture f r o m the Dwarf 

 Golden Heart. In quality, 

 appearance and large size 

 it is unsurpassed. We rec- 

 ommend it as one of the 

 best late varieties for the market gardener, 

 high esteem wherever used. Package, 5c; oz., 20c; Yx lb., 60c; lb., $1.50. 



FRENCH GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING The entire plant is of an 



attractive yellowish-green color, and as it approaches maturity the minor 

 stems and leaves become a beautiful waxy golden color. It grows to good 

 size, is very render, crisp and solid; of excellent quality. It is quite as self- 

 blanching as White Plume and simply needs a slight earthing up. Oz., 

 30c; Y\ lb., $1.00. 



NEW GCLDEN ROSE ( Rose Ribbed Golden Self-Blanching).— It is 

 a sport from the Golden Self-Blanching, having the same rich golden-yel- 

 low color, in the main, greatly enhanced in beauty by the delicate rosy hue 



FRENCH GOLDEN SELF- 

 BLANCHING. 



It is very hardy, and is held in 





of the ribs. On account of this combination of color, it is called by some " Rose Ribbed 

 Golden Self-Blanching." A strong and healthy grower, and its self-blanching character 

 well fixed. The plant is dwarf and heavy, the stalks smooth, free from ridges, solid and 

 crisp. Very early, on account of its self-blanching habit: a good keeper. Oz.. 25c; 

 Yx lb., 85c; lb., $3.00. 



GOLDEN HEART — A distinct variety of sturdy dwarf habit. It is solid, and an 

 excellent keeper, and of fine, nutty flavor. When blanched, the heart, which is large 

 and full, is of a light yellow, making it exceedingly showy, and desirable for either mar- 

 ket or private use. Package, 5c; oz., 20c: Yx lb., 50c. ; lb., $1.25. 



EVANS' NEW TRIUMPH. 

 This variety has a very strong and 

 vigorous plant, with very large 

 but crisp, brittle, tender and fine- 

 flavored stalks. It is late and re- 

 quires the whole season to de- 

 velop, but will keep longer than 

 other sorts. We recommend it as 

 worthy of the first place, as a late 

 Celery. Package, 5c; oz., 20c; 

 Yx lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 



BOSTON MARKET 



For many years the most 

 popular sort. It is a vigor- 

 ous grower, and very 

 branching, and an excellent 

 keeper. Package, 5c; oz., 

 20c; Yx lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 





EVANS' NEW TRIUMPH. 



GOLDEN HEART. 



PERLE LE GRAND 



(New.) This variety is 

 without doubt a remarkable novelty in Celery, since the 

 introduction of the Golden Self-Blanching. Its straight, 

 vigorous, golden-yellow stalks, compact growth and close 

 habits. »are handsome, and of beautiful appearance. Oz.. 

 20c; Y\ lb., 50c. ; lb., $1.50.
